FUEL-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,729, dated February 26, 1889.

Application filed April 21, 1888.

To (LZZ whom it may concern:

I Be it known that I, HUBERT H. HULL, a citizen ol' the United. States, and aresidentof Jer sey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Iniprovcments in. Fuel- Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates, especially, to that class of fuel-burners comprising a wire-cloth. ease filled with an absorbent non-combustible material-such as mineral wool; and it consists of a certain novel construction of the wireeloth case, as hereinafter described, for producing a very effective article at a low cost of manufacture.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a partial side view and partial lonjoints similar to that of the longitudinal gitudinal. section of a burner containing my invention. Fig. 2 represents a partial end view and partial cross-section thereof.

3 represents a plan view of a blank used in the construction of the case.

longitudinal and transverse strands, forming rivets-or the ends of the longitudinal strands of one section a may be bent around a transverse strand of the other section, forming edges of the blank.

Similar letters of reference indicate similar 3 parts.

The letter A indicates the case of the burner filled with mineral wool or other absorbent non-combustible material, as at B. Said case 1. In a fuel-burner, a wire-cloth case formed of a blank which is bent to a cylindrical or analogous shape, nailed on the longitudinal i edges, and overlapped at the ends, the over- A is usually cylindrical with substantially llat ends, and is provided at one end with a bail, 1), for convenience ofhandling the caseas in placing it into or removing it from a stove which is to be heated by the gas of a f burning hydrocarbon liquid with which the 1 tlliFlOl'lNflll material 1 is saturated when the burner is applied lo use.

In the construction of my burner, I take a piece ol wire-cloth, (f, ol proper length and width, and remove one or more of the longitudinal strands c ol wire on one edge of the blank, causing the ends oi? the transverse strands o to project on said edge, as shown. I then wrap the blank on a suitable term or shaper and bend said projecting ends of the transverse strands around a longitudinal strand on the other edge of the blank, as at b, Fig. 2, thereby uniting the two longitudinal edges. I then split both ends of the blank at intervals by cutting away portions of both i l l i lapped port ons being fasten ed together, substantiallyas shown and described.

2. In atuel-burner, a wire'cloth case formed of a blank the longitudinal edges of which are united by bending the transverse strands of one edge around a longitudinal strand of the other edge, and the ends 'of which are split longitudinally and overlapped inwardly to the case,with the overlapped portions fastened together, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a .lfuclburner, a wire-cloth case formed of a blank the ends of which are split longitud inally and overlapped inwardly to the case, in combination with a filling of absorbent noncombustible material and staples passing through the overlapped portions of the case into the filling material for fastening said overlapped portions together, substantially as shown and described.
